Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 20 pieces Fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine)
- 20 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 20 pieces Toothpicks or small skewers
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves.
Lay out the fresh mozzarella balls, ensuring they are drained and ready for assembly.
Take one toothpick or small skewer. Thread a cherry tomato onto the toothpick, followed by a fresh basil leaf. Fold the basil leaf in half if necessary to make it easier to skewer.
Next, thread a mozzarella ball onto the toothpick, pressing it gently against the basil for security.
Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients until all 20 skewers are assembled.
Arrange the skewers on a serving platter in a single layer for easy access.
Drizzle the skewers with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle the skewers lightly with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and visually appealing appetizer.
